Great vintage IND set, Matt.!Congratulations on getting, and demonstrating the R-1 set! (It would be great if some manufacturer, would produce a version of these R-1-9 series.... , Open gate cars, Lo-Vs, or other vintage equipment, In both HO, O, scale, and other scales. Just a dream I guess at this point. I had to put a tremendous amount of time, and work into my HO scale, ancient Model Traction supply Co. Sets). I'm happy you reached for, and obtained the "Holy Grail", set, Matt.

[@trainlover9943]

Thanks Larry! I agree, some early subway equipment would be great!

When I was in high school these were still running on the ind line . I used the d line . If I saw one in the distance I would wait for it . Riding in the front car standing next to motorman’s cabin looking out the front door was great . Also great riding between cars on a warm day . I absolutely loved everything about them especially how they looked. All ways would have liked to get that set , maybe one day . Enjoy thanks for the video will watch for more

[@trainlover9943]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

I'm glad you got this set, I had the chance to buy this set in 2019 but i decided to pass on it since i had to travel back with it. but it's one of the best subway sets MTH has done.

[@trainlover9943]

Thanks! I love it!

[@peterdonal9694]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@ozarkmidlandsouthernrailway]

Nice set, Matt! Although I do not live in an area where there are subways, between you and Corey (legenddriverc), I am starting to think they are pretty cool. Those MTH Premier sets with the passengers and all are pretty cool. Has Lionel ever made a subway set? Congratulations on finding your holy grail subway set! Bill B.

[@trainlover9943]

Thanks Bill! Yes, lionel has done a subway (three actually) I have one right now but I had two. Videos are on my channel. R16 and R27
